    The place was fantastic with a marvelous view on the Arabian Gulf. The staff were not very friendly. As for the food, eventhough it is supposed to be a Lebanese Restaurant, but seems the Chef was not, as the food lacks the real Lebanese taste. The only reason I gave a 4 star was the seating and atmosphere. Enjoy

    Visited Blue Garden for the Second time yesterday for my birthday dinner and at the entrance we were asked for how many and if cafe or restaurant, so we answered “restaurant, we will have dinner”, we walked few steps and we were told that cafe is not allowed at the open area garden, so we answered we are having dinner. The first question was okay and we just thought they want to know if we will eat or have coffee.. but when we were asked the second time it sounded like they dont want to let us sit at the garden and assuming me and my friends will just have coffee and they dont want to give us a table we wanted (sea view)… so they pointed us to the restaurant.. while checking the restaurant, one of the managers asked how old is the baby which was odd so i answered we dont have a baby.. while going out, where my friends were waiting fo me another manager told us coffee is not allowed at the sea view it should be in the restaurant.. at that point i knew he was really discriminating us.. we have informed them twice. That we will have dinner and still did not welcome us like a guest but trying to send us away. While some of my friends checked for available table and found the back side of the sea view the managers were following us and still looking like we are not welcome. They were talking to some of the waiters and when the waiter approached us again we were asked again if we are eating or will just have coffee.. So that was the time i speak out that their managers treatment was really discriminating and un professional. For a guest not to be welcomed by staff specially by 2 managers who supposed to know how to entertain and welcome guest were the first to ruin a moment supposedly enjoyable and memorable. We explained to the waiter that the attitude of their managers were unacceptable and un professional. After 5mins at the back garden we were told that they have available seat with sea view so we transferred. We enjoyed the food and ambiance but the suppossedly welcome was traumatic for the 9 of us. Until we left we have not heard an apology or any sympathetic gesture from the 2 managers-or supervisors. i saw some more reviews complaining about the staff/service and managers which i think must be an alarm to the owners and to evaluate their staff and their training. More than the food and ambiance the managers discriminating communication and lack of proper hospitality would be this restaurants downfall. I hope the owners/management reads the reviews to improve better experience of guests.. Out of all the restaurants i have tried i would say this was the worst experience with the managers..I am not sure if i would consider visiting this restaurant again and for sure will be sharing my horrific experience with my other friends too..

    The ambiance of this place is great. Most of it is great outdoor seating which is good during Winters. We are a big group of around 10 and it was considerably easy to get a table. The food is okay, better than average but the ambiance is worth all the money. I would recommend you to go to the place and spend at least 3-4 hrs. During winter they also provide blankets and heaters. The service is excellent.

    Excellent indoor and outdoor seating with an ocean view. A romantic setting. Outdoor seating is very popular in Winter. The food is also good, a bit pricey but worth it.

  • 5/5 Tyrell L. 10 months ago on Google • 125 reviews
    This place is an absolute must for anyone who loves great tasting food, while also enjoying amazing views, and a wonderful ambiance. This restaurant is ideal for a romantic date night, or simply an awesome place to spend time with loved ones. Their printed menu is available in English and the staff all speak English too. This place can get busy, so if you want that unique view to the Gulf, I recommend putting in a reservation ahead of time. Also, come with a good appetite, because their portions are large and certainly great for the value paid. Immerse yourself and enjoy what this wonderful place has to offer. I highly recommend this place when visiting Al Khobar, to enjoy a lovely meal right at the water.

    Worse management. I went there at 5pm and ordered 4 shakes, tea and a dessert but the management said as u r not buying food u need buy 2 desserts. This is a stupid policy because who eats food at 5pm.

    The view and set up is great, the staff are very welcoming. I mean if you're there for a cup of coffee and the view it'll be great. They serve complimentary Arabic coffee on the entry. Nice gesture. However, as a restaurant I was disappointed. We ordered several dishes mostly bbqs. The chicken Tauk was just fine. The salmon wasn't much. Hamor fish was great. The beef kebab was good. I ordered a dish that sounded really good, cherry souce kebab. It was literally kebab with super sweet cherry jam on top of it. Very not good and doest worth the price. Didn't even come with fries. Greek Salad came very soure and salty. They served fresh bread. Hummus was great. Luch for 4 cost a bit over 500 SAR and it definitely not worth it.

    Blue garden is probably one of the best restaurants in Khobar. I say this because genuinely the staff is very nice, they treat you with respect and the food was good. The restaurant overall is very good. This place is an absolute must for anyone who loves great tasting food, while also enjoying amazing views, and a wonderful ambiance. This restaurant is ideal for a romantic date night, or simply an awesome place to spend time with loved ones. Their printed menu is available in English and the staff all speak English too.

    It's a must visit restaurant in Khobar especially during daytime because of it's beautiful view. The food is delicious and the price is above average but it's worth it.

    The restaurant is beautiful as well as the view facing the sea is awesome. It is very near from Bahrain which makes it very convenient but the food is not that good and is pricey too. Also the parking area is very small which makes it difficult to find a parking space.

  • 5/5 Sabreen Q. 6 months ago on Google • 19 reviews
    I had the pleasure of dining at Blue Garden with my family for dinner, and it was truly a delightful experience. This Lebanese restaurant in Al Khobar left us with a lasting impression. The food was nothing short of amazing, and the sea view added to the overall charm of the place. The service was impeccable, ensuring that our evening went smoothly. We decided to explore a variety of dishes, and every single one of them exceeded our expectations. However, my personal favorite had to be the humble hummus. It might be a simple dish, but the richness in its taste was truly remarkable. The restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating, and we opted for the outdoor area, given the pleasant weather. Dining with a view of the sea made the experience even more memorable. In summary, our visit to Blue Garden was a wonderful culinary journey. The delicious food, lovely ambiance, and great service all came together to create a memorable dining experience. If you're in Al Khobar and in the mood for Lebanese cuisine, I highly recommend giving Blue Garden a try.

    Menu lacked vegetarian/vegan options but the flavours of the dishes that I got are on point. However, I expected the base of the potato balls to be more crunchy.

    2 stars because I don't like to be taken for a fool. we are being given plastic cutlery because of COVID! so why not plastic glasses! I put them in my mouth the same way. they make us believe that they are serious at this level, put a label "disused table" while the placemats are returned dirty between 2 customers. and the last straw, the managers and waiters who wear 2 masks one on top of the other ..... but under the 2. this restaurant is the height of ridicule !!!!!!! don't want to talk about their cooking; they spoiled the meal with their attitude

    Loved the food here especially the rice with laham. ♥️ The view is breath taking literally will relax your mind. The bird feeding with your leftover fries is cool. Since its outdoor, its quite hard to call on servers for our requests. But non the less its very good dining experience.

  • 1/5 Farah S. 10 months ago on Google
    This place has the worst Service and Management. My family and I went to this place as recommended by a few friends for its great view and their kind workers but what we saw was completely different. From the moment we sat down we were greeted with waiter after waiter asking us what we want to order. Noting that we already had dinner we decided to have drinks and dessert while enjoying the beautiful view. Then unfortunately our good time ended when an Egyptian waiter came to tell us that there is a minimum charge and that we have to order actual food because this is a restaurant and this is how restaurants policies work in general. Keep in mind I have been all over Europe and know exactly what it means to go to a restaurant and proper restaurant service. My right states that I can order anything on that menu as long as they have it on there. This man and this kind of service is what marks Saudi Arabia with bad service. This kind of service should not be tolerated I am paying so I can order what ever I like. I am warning everyone who wants to go there to go to somewhere else with better service because it is not the only restaurant that serves its specialty of food. In the end we left without ordering and I think if you ever come by the restaurant steer away.

    This is not my first visit as I have come before with family a long time ago. The location is amazing on a small island within the Gulf. The atmosphere is nice, with Fayrouz singing in the background. Staff are friendly and supportive. The place is overall clean. Breakfast had a decent variety of dishes, which were delicious. The only drawback was an awkward smell that could probably be coming from the nearby building. I will definitely visit again when I go back to Al Khobar.

  • 5/5 Ahmed A. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best restaurants atmospheres you can find in Khobar city. 🍖🥗 The verity of middle eastren food they have are nice and delicious. 🕴Staff are amazing and they welcome guests with saudi coffee. 💰 Prices are high but it is self explanatory looking at the place and location of the restaurant.
